Biography

James was the son of James Hovey and Priscilla Dane Warner (married 2 November 1670 at Springfield, MA). He was born in 1674 in Brookfield, Worcester, Massachusetts.[1]

He married Deborah Barlow in 1694.[2][3] She passed away in 1749[4][5]

Children of James Hovey and Deborah Barlow

  1. James Hovey[6] (1695–1784)
  2. Deborah Hovey[7] (1697–1784)
  3. Edmund Hovey[8] (1699–1788)
  4. John Hovey[9] (Feb 1700–about 1775)
  5. Mary Hovey[10] (1702–1756)
  6. Joseph Hovey[11] (1704–1785)
  7. Thomas Hovey[12] (1706–1749)
  8. Priscilla Hovey[13] (11 Dec 1708–1746)
  9. Daniel Hovey[14] (1710–1785)
  10. Samuel Hovey[15] (1713–1714)
  11. Abigail Hovey[16] (1714–1747)

"He was a weaver, and lived in Maiden, Mass., until the summer of 1716, when he removed to Mansfield, Conn., where he was afterward a yeoman....Sept. 28, 1722, for love, he conveyed to his son John Hovey forty acres of land, being part of the one hundred acres he bought of Bowley Arnold; and, for love, he conveyed to his son Daniel Hovey fifty acres of land in Mansfield Feb. 16, 1732-3."[1]

His will was dated 16 February 1762.[17] His executors bond was paid 22 October 1765, therefore he probably died in 1765.[17] One record gives his death as 13 July 1765.[18]

Notes

We know he married at least twice since his will mentions his children "by his first wife."[17] His current wife's name is not mentioned, but he does mention his brother-in-law as "ritchard Dexter." One source gives a marriage to a Susannah Dexter (d. 14 Feb 1768) on 7 May 1751.[19] The name "Susanna" and "Susannah Hovey, widow" appears as executor on several other documents.[17] But wether this is 2nd or 3rd wife in not known for certain.
